Sažetak
The goal of this article is to explore the style that the media culture follows in the representation of women on the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), which is a Croatian public broadcasting company. Since the mass media are a social institution that participates in the shaping of social and personal identity, and influences the fixing or breaking down gender stereotypes, the authors wanted to know whether HRT follows the legislation on gender equality and gender representation in the media. Through the analysis of two informative talk shows, In medias res and Otvoreno, the authors tried to find out if women were called as guest experts and to what extent when discussing important social and political issues, or whether such an area is still reserved for men, pushing women from the public to the private sphere. The article analyzes 38 episodes of the mentioned programs in relation to the presence or absence of women in the studio, discussion topics, voices as a source of information regarding to gender, and professions of guests thatare most commonly represented. This research confirmed the hypothesisthat women on the Croatian public television are a minority when it comes to serious political, social and economic issues. Thus, the media in Croatia actively participate in strengthening gender stereotypes and reinforcing the patriarchal culture.
